ATGM Aiming Station Center Slew Button Assignment is Half working...

[hannibal]

Prior to Open beta 2.7.4.9632, the Center Function for the ATGM Guidance unit, DID NOT DO ANYTHING

 

 

with the recently release Open beta 2.7.4.9632, i see that the Center Function of the slew will place the red arrow to center if it the red arrow is away from the Center of the Guidance unit/ Aiming Station optic during slewing... How Ever the slew still continues even though the arrow is centered.. 

 

I still have to make counter slew inputs in order to have the slewing stop.

 

PLEASE MAKE THE SLEWING STOP absolute (in addition to centering the red arrow) once the centering command / function is pressed or activated.

Thank you for update! i hope the aiming station controls will continued to be refined and better improved!

 

***update 8/7/21***

 

im starting to understand how the aiming station function, via a joystick and not the warthog mini stick

although it is not clear what the centering function is..

is it to boresight the aiming station gimbal, or does it stop slewing when slew is in motion..??

I imagine this is in part linked to the behaviour of the slew input/motion, as per :

Are you slewing with buttons or ministick/joystick?

[hannibal]

@admiki I am slewing with both buttons and ministick.

 

I'm using the warthog throttle ministick...that gives me slew and then the hat (buttons of pov hat)on my joystick for refined slew. 

 I also lowered the saturation of the minstick so it doesn't give extreme slew.

but at the end of the day, I have to fight the buttons and ministick in order to stop any slew.. It would be nice there was a command to stop any slewing...I thought that would have been the function of the centering command..

I believe we are talking about the same thing, the slew drifting!!

There is your problem. Use only ministick, slew will stop once you release it

actually that it not the problem.

initially i used only ministick (no buttons), and it still drifts.

do you use any deadzone for your ministick? @admiki

can i see your axis tune for one of your ministick axes?

the problem is what @Althar93 talking about.

still the centering function should serve a purpose!

i was watching this video and observed a behavior to the aiming station  that looks usable.. video at 3:19)

 

so, i am going to look into the whole aiming station controls. instead of using the warthog ministick and buttons, im going to try to use the warthog joystick and my mock minigun.

maybe the warthog ministick is not viable, because i set a large deadzone. (since the ministick never returns to the exact center everytime it is used..)

 

contemplating about building a 3d printed aiming station... should the results of the joystick test works out..

Sorry, I forgot to answer this. I use main joystick axes. Since I don't have springs, I need to guide to center, but once centered, it stops slewing. Curve is set at 10 on both axes, no deadzone. Can you send me screenshot of your setup for ministick?

ministick is not going to be useful since it never centers exactly, so a deadzone is needed. which affects the return to center..

i just tried my minigun with the shtrum and aiming station. found interesting the behavior using a controller that has a wide traverse but no centering spring.

using a curve of 15 helped so that it is less sensitive towards the center.

using my mock minigun wasnt ideal cause it doesnt have a physical return to center so when i get closer to centering the controller i have to play around with getting it to center.

going to mess around with the ministick again, but im also going to look at making an aim station that will have some kind of physical return to center...

thanks again for reply @admiki
